Pros

Some great people to work alongside and there is scope to get exposure to a lot of different technologies. Some areas of the business are genuinely trying to improve things to make it a great company and good place to work. Existing staff can move to new roles to progress their career. Plenty of options to develop (courses, exams, training).

Cons

Senior Management don't appear to have a clear idea of where the company is going (possibly due to high turn-over in Exec team). Some decisions are counter-productive despite concerns raised by staff. Wages are NOT competitive (no longer even advertise salaries on job ads to avoid comparison). HR will use every excuse they can to avoid pay-rises/uplifts (even if it's been agreed by senior management). Severe lack of project management in some of the key transformations, leading to rushed changes that cause issues later down the line (no real foresight or forward-planning going on).

Pros

Great people within the business that are dedicated and make this company a great place to work. It’s a good place to start and learn but definitely not worth hanging about!

Cons

Senior management is a shambles, no one really knows what they are doing and the business itself is a sinking ship. Priorities are all over the place with no concrete goal in sight. Many of the town hall meetings were just a lot of male figures talking in circles, no focus on different areas of business for the company to feel united. The turn over in staff is obscene and that should say a lot.

Pros

The people I worked with. The majority of the people who work for this company are great.

Cons

Terrible, unprofessional senior management, an Exco that allows senior management to treat employees however they see fit, constant changing of goalposts and movement of unachievable goals and tasks, rubbish payrises whilst the Exco award themselves with undeserved promotions and massive salary increases, crap company pension contribution, an HR dept that doesn’t have a clue on basic employment law, a finance dept in managed decline, morale is rock bottom, massive staff turnover in finance because of recently promoted senior management in this dept which will definitely get worse. Senior management in finance couldn’t run a bath, never mind a functioning finance dept.
